Used Red Sea Max S-650 Build

More boring stuff. I removed all of the rear chamber pumps and the nozzles and filter plugs today after work. I have them soaking in a bucket with Sicce pump clean. 3/4 of the pumps from the rear chamber are in working order. I guess I will be looking to source a replacement for the dead one.

As of right now, my plan to have this build based around the fish with soft corals and I can never resist LPS. That being said, most of the corals I am expecting to keep will not require a ton of flow so I’m hoping I can rely on the return pump and the rear chamber pumps for flow. At least until the tank starts to mature and grow out.

I also ordered some drill bits from Amazon to fit the stand so that I can remove the center brace to remove the sump and clean it.

Question about the type of screw bits for the stand? I bought a used setup like yours and I need to get the sump out to clean it. What style of bits did you get on Amazon? Thanks
 
You need to search Amazon for T25H Torx Bit and BTW, thanks for reminding me. I looked for mine and can't find it and will need it in the coming months to disassemble part of my stand.
